Decellularized allogeneic heart valves demonstrate self-regeneration potential after a long-term preclinical evaluation.

Decellularized allogeneic heart valves demonstrate self-regeneration potential after a long-term preclinical evaluation.

Tissue-engineered heart valves are proposed as novel viable replacements granting longer durability and growth potential. However, they require extensive in vitro cell-conditioning in bioreactor before implantation. Here, the propensity of non-preconditioned decellularized heart valves to spontaneou...
